1. Generative AI - Alt Text and other AI Features

   These features should be turned off by default. Most users do not want generated content being automatically inserted into production documents without review or approval. If users do want AI assistance, it should be opt-in, with clear choices such as:

   Generate descriptions for all images
   Generate descriptions for selected images only
   Approve descriptions on a case-by-case basis

   I do not think automatically inserting generated content into live production files is a good approach.

   In real-world workflows especially regulated, accessibility, publishing, legal, pharmaceutical, or corporate environments every word often needs to be reviewed, approved, and sometimes audited. AI-generated alt text can absolutely be useful as a starting point, but it should never silently become part of the document unless the user explicitly accepts it.

   There is also the risk of inaccurate, inappropriate, misleading, or non-compliant content being introduced into documents without the user immediately noticing. That could create serious problems for regulated workflows, accessibility compliance, approvals, translations, and version-controlled production environments.

   AI should assist the user, not bypass existing review and sign-off processes.

3. Remove all alt text

   Like everyone, I was affected by the recent bug masquerading as a feature that added a ton of unwelcome AI alt text to every image that I didnt ask for and don't need. Now I have to go through image by image if I want it all out? One of these documents has over 2000 links. I NEED a way to remove all alt text easily. I didn't want it to begin with! Shameful this "feature" shipped at all, let alone without an easy undo! Are you THAT desperate to get your AI adoption number up? Guess so!

4. Custom App Assignment for ‘Edit Original’ in InDesign

   It would be useful to introduce a feature in InDesign that allows assigning specific applications for opening files when using the "Edit Original" command, so that, for example, you can choose Photoshop for .jpg .jpeg .png, Illustrator for .pdf .ai etc...
   In this way, it is possible to keep the most common settings for the operating system, such as opening .jpg files with the Photos app and .pdf files with Acrobat.

   In InDesign there is already the option to assign a keyboard shortcut to start "Edit Original," but not one for "Edit With...," which greatly slows down the workflow.

6. Add icon for Adobe Fonts to Find/Replace and Preflight panels

   It would be helpful if you showed the Adobe Font Cloud icon next to the font name in both the Find/Replace and the Preflight panels. There have been several times when someone has used a non-Adobe font, and I don't see that the font has dropped until a PDF has been exported and compressed. Our printer only supports Adobe Fonts; however, there is currently no system for people to verify at a glance, and checking every font in large documents is extremely time-consuming.

7. technology

   I would like to suggest integrating generative AI testing tools capabilities into InDesign to enhance automation and smart workflow optimization. By leveraging AI-driven intelligence, InDesign could automatically analyze document layouts, detect design inconsistencies, suggest formatting improvements, and even generate templates based on user behavior or uploaded samples.

   This would significantly reduce manual effort, improve design accuracy, and streamline repetitive publishing tasks. Integrating AI-powered automation similar to generative AI testing tools could make InDesign more adaptive, intelligent, and efficient for modern content creators and production teams.

8. InDesign Import and Export

   It would be most helpful to me since I design books, tear-sheets, posters, newsletter that are made fore print and are shown on the web too. Import - When we have a form in PDF format that is asked to be shown, instead of placing it directly into InDesign file it doesn't work, we need to place JPGS instead. Exporting these products that are for print as web format SVG is impossible! Web service requires SVG for catalogue, everything I make can be deigned in Illustrator but arranged in InDesign, but if I export as EPS then open it into illustrator it rasterizes everything, Poor quality defeating the purpose!!! I need it to stay clean, both PRNT & Web is DESPERENTLY needed!!!

11. How do I remove first-line indent for only the first paragraph?

    Hi everyone,Escape Tsunami for Brainrots

    I’m struggling with a formatting issue and can’t seem to fix it.

    I want the first paragraph to have no indent, but all following paragraphs to keep the standard indentation (like in professional manuscripts or books).

    I’ve tried:

    Edit Format → Settings → Paragraph first line indents
    Options like “Remove from first paragraph and after empty lines”
    Different compile settings

    But nothing seems to work, even after changing styles.

12. DATA MERGE - Multiple or Single Page Import from Ai or PDF

    I would like to be able to import multiple artboards or pages from an Illustrator file or PDF document when using Data Merge.

    For example:

    Column K
    @Images
    R:\Customer\SALES ORDERS\SOnumber\Working\01-0001.ai:1 ( Design to be printed in Artboard 1 )

    Column L
    @Images
    R:\Customer\SALES ORDERS\SOnumber\Working\01-0001.ai:2 ( Spot colours listed in Artboard 2 )

    I use Data Merge for creating Prepress proofs for large orders, and we have to show the design to be printed and the spot colours used on each document.

    The issue is that InDesign won't list the colours used per page only per document, so my solution is to create a color list using the new " Create Swatch Info " introduced to Illustrator.

    My limitation is that adobe Indesign only imports the first page of the document listed in the @Images column

    This would be such a time saver for me.

    Thanks!

    Screenshot attached of a simplified version of the proof page
    ( Top Is where my image gets placed, bottom is where we list the colours and it would be much faster if it came from illustrator if each document has different spot colours using the create swatch info tool )

    PS. I have thought about saving a second ai file with the spot list only but that will just take as much time as copying and pasting from AI to Indd.

14. Indesign .RTF or .DOCX exporter

    If Adobe are so keen to help with sharing and workflows why have they failed to add a decent way of exporting to Rich text Files or .DOCX from Indesign?

    I propose an adobe RTF /DOCX exporter that ships with Indesign.

    Currently we have to rely on a third party product or a script to do this. It seems ridiculous to have to pay for software that is keen for AI to fill in the gaps but miss out on something as basic as this.

    If anyone who has to re-assemble a document format PDF export knows what a nightmare this can be.

    Implementing a native RTF (or MS Word) exporter would significantly enhance user experience. It would enabling seamless editing within their preferred word processing applications. Integration like this would streamline workflows, especially for professionals who require quick, efficient document editing and collaboration.

    Relying on third-party plugins or exporting solely to PDF can introduce inconsistencies and compatibility issues. Whereas an Adobe-native solution would ensure consistent and high quality output.

15. Home screen - Please put your creative hats on and re-design for functionality

    I love and hate the Home Screen. I would really like to see Adobe really think through the reason for this screen's existence. The simple fact that you cannot reorder, delete, or organize the list is limiting. The additional fact is that, in some recent updates, the hover to see the "path" is no longer available.
    Bottom line: this is valuable real estate that is going to waste or cause more frustration than it's worth because it feels more like an afterthought than a conscious UX/UI decision.
    You guys are awesome creatives, and I know there are tons of things that can be done, many of which others have noted in the comments below. Please spend some time re-thinking and re-working this layout so it is useful to the masses.

    In Styles, the tabs are not logical.
    How is Language and 'Advanced Character Format'?
    Why is 'Align to Grid' part of 'Indents and Spacing'?
    Lots of work to do there.

19. InDesign Document Icon Previews in macOS Finder

    Hi. Please, can we have InDesign files in MacOS Finder show the document preview. See attached screenshot for exactly what I mean.

    I have relied on 3rd party developers over the last 10+ years (ArtView and inddPreview.app) to provide this essential feature. Unfortunately Apple has dropped support for legacy plugins (so called Quick Look generators) so inddPreview.app has stopped working.

    I have over 15,000 InDesign files, and to now do what is usually a quick visual finder search is impossible with the Finder only showing the generic InDesign Document Icon. (Yes, I can use Bridge, but this is a clunky workaround for me)

    .psd files have finder document previews
    .ai files have finder document previews

    Why not InDesign?

    The 7 year old Feature Request with 180 votes is marked as Solved but only the 'QuickLook' part was added.
    https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601021-adobe-indesign-feature-requests/suggestions/33291841-indesign-preview-for-finder
